P&O Liberte is a roll-on/roll-off hybrid ferry operated by P&O Ferries across the English Channel between Dover and Calais.

Design

The P&O Liberte and sister ship P&O Pioneer were ordered by P&O Ferries in September 2019 to operate across the English Channel between Dover and Calais. It has been designed to also be converted to battery-electric propulsion at a later date, when charging infrastructure is available on both sides of the channel.[1]

Built by Guangzhou Shipyard International, Guangzhou, China, it was aunched in July 2022 and delivered in November 2023, P&O Liberte entered service on 22 March 2024.[2][3][4]
